Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 1 1l, 1922.

Application filed September 19, 1918. Serial No. 254,815.

T 0 all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, TIMOTHY E. Wnsr, citizen' of the United States, residing at Oakland, in the county of Alameda and State of'California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Parcel- Post and Express Charts, of which the folJ lowing is a specification.

My invention is a computing system particularly adapted for quickly determining both express and parcel post rates between expressand parcel post stations.

Inv this specication and the annexed drawing, I disclose my invention in the form which I consider the best, but I do not limit my invention to suchpform because it may be embodied in other forms and it is to be understood that in and by the claims following the description herein I intend to cover my invention in whatever form it may be embodied.

Referring to the drawings:

Figure 1 is a view of plate No. 1 used in my computing system.

Figure 2 is a view of my computing system.

Figure 3 is a View of plate No. 3 of my plate No. 2 used in .computing system. Y

Figure 4 is a view of plate No. 4 of my computing system. v

Figure 5 is a view of-platc 5of the system.

The parcel post system has divided the United States into units of area thirty minutes square, identical with a quarter of the area formed by the intersecting parallels of latitude and meridians of longitude, these quadrangles are called parcel-post units,

Yand these units form the basis of eight parcel post zones.

The zone location of any city from a known point is determined by referring to a parcel post map, or official zone key sheet, and noting the location of the quadrangle or unit, noting the distance and the relative .location in regard to zone circle, zone circles radiate from the center of units and all unitsincluded in a Zone circle radiating from the center of a unit in which is located a ytown or' city indicate the particular zone location of said unit from said city.

In Vorder to regulate express rates or charges, the Interstate Commerce Commission has divided the United States into quadrangles the division being according to meridians and parallels, and these quadrangles represent the area contained inside of sixty minutes of latitude and longitude. These quadranges are called express blocks.

The express charges are determined according to distances between express blocks, but `rates are not always uniform according to distances, on account of express Zones and intrastate regulations governed by State commissions. Scale numbers is the term used in referring to express rates and scale numbers are numbered from O to 294. Under scale numbers the graduated rates are classified.

For example, the parcel post Zone location of Chicago, Illinois, from Vashington, D. C., is 4 and is found by referring to a parcel post map of Washington, D. C. or it can also be determined by referring to a Chicago parcel post map, and noting the zone location of Vashington unit which is 1071. Knowing now that the zone location between Chicago and Washington, D. C., is fourth zone, and then referring to fourth zone parcel post rates, a 2O pound shipment would be 88.

A Now, by referring to-a Viashington, D. C., express guide or a Chicago express guide, we note that the scale to ratesbetween these two points is 35 and by referring to the rates listed under scale 35 we find that a 20 pound shipment between these two cities is The scale'number between Chicago and lVashington, D. C., is the scale to rates applying between express block 838 and 1148 and this scale to rates applies between any town located in block 83S to any town located in block 1148.

The above method used by shippers all over the United States to determine the coniparison between parcel post and express charges means that they have to consult two books or guides, which procedure consumes a great deal of time, namely, postal guides and express guides.

My invention is arranged to get the above results in a simpler method, namely the arrangement of figures so arranged that a shipper can instantly know the zone location, and the express scale number at a glance. My invention consists of a number which I call a key number for convenience, arranged so that the first ligure at the left will denote the parcel post zone number and the balance of the number representing the express scale number. For example: The

zone number between Washington, D. C. and Chicago, Ill., as explained above,

is 4 and the express scale number is 35; therefore key number to rates between W'ashington, D. C. and Chicago, Ill., would be 435. Take for example another illustration: Denver, Colo., 1s located in parcel post unit 3819 which is located in express block 1021 and we wish to know the rates from Denver, Colo., to the following towns, namely: Cbar, New Mexico; Logan, New Mexico; Mosquero, New Mexico and Tucumcari, New Mexico.

M. 1422 3728 3 35 335 The express scale to rates from Denver', Colo.,` block 1021 to expressV block 1422 which is the block that the above cities are located in is 35. A There are four parcel post units in block 1422 as follows: 3677, 367 8, 3727, 3728. One of these units 367.8 is in fourth parcel post zone from Denver 3819,

' while the other three units are in the third parcel post zone from Denver. This being the case, the key number to rates from Denver, Colo., to the following named cities will be as follows:

Denver, Colo., to Obar, New Mexico, key

number 335 indicating 3rd parcel post zone;

' cisions of the Interstate Commerce Commission on interstate rates, and subject to change on intrastate rates by State railroad commissions of the different States in the Union. In other words, the rate for a one pound shipment from San Francisco,vCal., to some town in California'under scale 35 would be 23, said r-ate being regulated by the 'California State Railroad Commission, while the rate from San Francisco tov some townv located in some other State, other than California, taking the Asame scale 35 could be'27-f/. 'This last rate being regulated by Interstate Commerce Commission at Wash :ingtom D. C. vThese rates vary mostly on weights from one to one hundred pounds, the hundred Vpounds generally remaining the same. In order to simplify this differ- 'number to denote intrastate charges.

ence, I will take as an illustration a town in the State of California. The scale to rates on express from San Francisco, Cal., to Ventura, Cal., is 35 under California State Railroad Commission decisions the charge for a one pound shipment under scale 35 is 23, as compared against a charge of 27ql on a one pound shipment from 'San Francisco to towns outside of California under same scale 35.

Since there is no 9th zone in the postal system, I will in order to distinguish the differences between rates under the same scale numbers on interstateand intrastate charges, add the figure 9 to left of a key This intrastate key number would thenV show as follows: key number 9335 would indicate that the charges under this number indicates shipment entirely within the State and rates are lower than rates regulated by Interstate vCommerce Commission and that a difference in rates was evident. The next ligure 3 parcel post zone, and the remaining figure 35 indicates the express scale number as shown in plate 4.

The function of plate No. 1 is to determine the key numbers which indicate the parcel post zones and the express scalenumbers, of the citiesand towns of the State of New Mexico with relation toV the'cities of Los Angeles and San Francisco, California, and to determine the parcel post unit numbers of said towns and cities of-New Mexico.

In plate No. 1 therev are four columns on the left half of the plate, respectively indicated at the top Parcel post unit, Post office and express stations; Key to rates from Los Angeles7 and Key to rates from San Francisco. In the column designated Post offices andexpress stations are arranged alphabetically a list of thepost ofwhich follows 9 will indicate 3rd ficesand express stationsin the State of Y New Mexico. In the column designated Parcel post unit are arranged, respectively opposite said post'oliices and express stations, the numbers of the fParcel post units in which said post oflices and express stations are located. In the column designated Key to rates from Los Angeles7 are arranged, respectively opposite said post offices and express stations, the key numbers to the vparcel post and express rates from Los Angeles, Calif. to said post oiiices and express stations in New Mexico. In the column designated Key to rates lfrom San Francisco are arranged, respectively opposite saidipost offices and express stations, the key numbers to the parcel post and express rates from San Francisco, California to said post -voffices and express stations in New Mexico.

On the right half of plate No. 1 the above described columns and indicia contained therein are continued.

'listed in aseparate table.

Certain characters are placed after the cities and towns to designate certain things. The character t indicates that there is a money order post office at the station. A lVestern Union Telegraph office is designated C1). Postal Telegraph oiiice is designated Railroads connecting with the station are indicated by numbers which are Express companies are designated by letters.

The function of plate No. 2 is to determine the key numbers to the parcel post and express rates between several leading cities of the United States, namely: Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Denver, Detroit, New York, Philadelphia, Portland, Cre., Salt Lake and Seattle; and the parcel post units of the State of New Mexico in which units are located the post oflices and express sta` tions of New Mexico. Y

In plate No.2 there are twelve columns respectively designated at the top: Parcel post units; Boston; Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland; Denver, Detroit; New York, Philadelphia; Portland, Ore.; Salt Lake; Seattle.

In the parcel post units column are arranged, in increasing numerical order from` the top to the bottom of the column, the parcel post unit numbers of the State of New Mexico. In the city columns are respectively arranged opposite the parcel post unit numbers, the key numbers to the parcel post and express rates between the cities designating said columns and the parcel post units of New Mexico designated by the numbers in the parcel post unit column.

The function of plate No. 3 is to determine by the key numbers found in plates No. l and 2 the parcel post and the express rates between Los Angeles and San Francisco and the post offices and express stations of New Mexico indicated in plate No. l, and the parcel post and express rates between the cities of Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Denver, Detroit. new York, Philadelphia, Portland, Cre. Salt Lake and Seattle and the parcel post units of New Mexico indicated iii plate No. 2.

In plate No. 3 there are thirteen columns. The first column is `designated pounds The next eleven columns are express rate columns. These columns are designated respectively at the top by parcel post and express rate key numbers 577 to 587 inclusive from left to right. Said columns are also each designated Express to indicate express rates. Each of said columns is dividedrinto two columns designated respectively lst class and 2nd class7 to indicate lst class and 2nd class express rates. The last column to the right is the parcel post rate column designated parcel post zone A5 Fourth class mail rates. In the pounds column are arranged from top to bottom the numbers l to 100 inclusive indicating pounds. In each express rate column are arranged, in the lst and 2nd rate columns.

opposite the pounds numbers, the first and second class express rates according to pounds between Los Angeles and San rancisco and the express stations of New Mexico as indicated in plate No. l, and the express rates between eleven cities and parcel post units of New Mexico according to pounds as indicated in plate No. 2. In the last column are arranged opposite the pounds numbers the parcel post rates according to pounds between Los Angeles and San Francisco and the post ofiices of New Mexico, as indicated in plate No. l, and the parcel post rates according to pounds between tlie eleven cities and the parcel post units as indicated in plate No. 2.

The function of plate No. I is to determine, by the key numbers found in plate No. l, intrastate rates between pointsin New Mexico. The arrangement of plate No. 4L is the same as that of plate No. l with the exception of the intrastate key number 9 at the left of each parcel post and express key number.

Plate 5 is a parcel post schedule of rates classied under the zone system, now in use by the postal system.

Parcel post and express rates are determined as follows:

If it is desired to find these rates for l0 pounds from Los Angeles, California to Albuquerque, New Mexico, plate No. l is first referred to. In the column designated Post offices and express stations is found the cit T of Albuquerque. This city has a post o ce as indicated by the character it; a railroad is indicated by the numeral 9 which according to my system is the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe; a Vestern Union Telegraph oifice indicated by the character l; a Postal Telegraph indicated 2; and a IVells Fargo Express office indicated IVF. To the right of the city of Albuquerque is found in the column designated Key to rates from Los Angeles the key number of said city which is 585. Plate No. 3 is now consulted. From Los Angeles, Albuquerque is found to be in parcel post zone 5 according to the column at the right of said plate and the parcel post rate between these two cities is found in said column opposite the number l0 in the pounds column to the left of the plate which is 62a".

The first and second class express rates from Los JAngeles to Albuquerque are found in the column indicated by key number 585 in the 1st class and 2nd class columns of said key number column opposite the number l0 in the pounds4 column to the left; which rates are respectively 70 and Thus both parcel post and express rates are both readily found.
